Abstract
The quantum Zeno paradox is examined within the many-worlds and relative states interpretations of quantum mechanics. In the many-worlds interpretation the effect is predicted to persist. The possibility of recombining worlds is not expected to be relevant. In the simplest form of relative states interpretation the effect may be avoided but this form of interpretation experiences difficulties in coping with conventional problems of quantum theory. The more complex version of the relative states interpretation, which takes account of the correlations of system with apparatus, predicts the occurrence of the paradox.
